Så här funkar det: ”We’re pulling together a list of the very best under-recognized second novels of the past five years – ones that might not have found the readers they still deserve now. ([Suggestions], email secondnovels@slate.com) The list will be voted on by previous winners of the Whiting Awards. And then our five judges—novelists Yiyun Li and Colson Whitehead, independent bookseller Sarah McNally, NewYorker.com literary editor Sasha Weiss, and me, your Slate culture editor—will wrangle a final five of follow-up fiction, to be announced on Nov. 19.”
